So now about all the added braces.
We all to often hear people say that "braces are for looks", and that is nothing farther from the truth!
All the braces were installed at the same time so I do not have feedback for each individual brace, but overall the difference is huge!
The first most noticeable thing that these braces work is when jacking up the car the door opens and closes normally. With no braces installed it was very noticeable that the doors would not close the same as when the car was on the ground.
Driving impression: The car is more responsive to direction change, as soon as the wheel turns in the entire car is planted and sets up much quicker. The rear end is able to follow the front around a corner with more precision, giving more confidence to the driver with much more chassis feedback.
About the only downside is the car seems to lift tires more going into steep driveways and while doing so the chassis has a little more creaking to it when driving slow.
Overall could not be more happy with the results, as all the bracing gives great chassis rigidity with out the bulkiness of having a cage with similar results in handling improvement.
